Rubbish cleared and piling in. Good progress in one month. The canal is due to open from Saul junction through Stroud to Brimscombe Port by 2025. Originally it went all the way to the Thames at Lechlade via the Sapperton Tunnel, and that restoration is the further challenge for the Cotswold Canals Trust. More details, maps etc at the Visitor Centre at Saul Junction.
